VOORHEES TWP. — Camden County Library System Director Linda A. Devlin has been elected to serve on the New Jersey Library Association’s Executive Board. The NJLA is a professional association that supports librarians and library services across the state.

Devlin has been director of CCLS since February 2007. She has served as the library’s associate director, head of reference services, assistant supervisor of reference services and senior reference librarian since arriving at the Camden County system in 1995 from Westfield Memorial Library in North Jersey.

In 2007 she was nationally recognized by “Library Journal” as a “Mover and Shaker” among library professionals nationwide.

Elected by the association’s general membership to serve as a member-at-large for a three-year term on the board, Devlin commented, “I am pleased to have this opportunity to help the NJLA in supporting library professionals and libraries. In these challenging times I think organizations like the NJLA have an even more important role to play than ever in helping to guide the future of library services.”

Devlin earned a Masters degree in Library Service from Rutgers, New Brunswick in 1993 and a Bachelors of Fine Arts, with honors, from Parson’s School of Design, New York, NY in 1991.
